Abstract
A sun-shade auxiliary device for a vehicle, providing an auxiliary panel means supported by the vehicle's sun visor, with provisions by which the auxiliary panel means may be moved and fixedly held in a plurality of optional positions to provide substantially greater sun-glare protection. The plurality of optionally-available movements and positions include (a) translatory movement longitudinally of the sun visor, for incrementally freeing successive portions of a composite panel for incremental addition of glare-blocking in the direction of movement, and permitting individual adjustment of incrementally increasing numbers of panel members which provide the composite auxiliary panel means, (b) rotation about an axis parallel to the longitudinal axis of the sun visor, (c) rotation of elemental portions of the auxiliary panel means about axes perpendicular to that longitudinal axis, and (d) combinations of those three adjustments; and the invention further provides a ball joint in the support arm of either the vehicle's sun visor or of a support arm of the auxiliary panel means, thereby providing even greater option of adjustment.
